AsHEvILLE. N. c., March 10, 1887.
Messrs. Reed. Hicks. Thompson and Lindsay. at
Large
Genfiemen-Your favor. dated at Concordia,
Kan, 22d ult, is now in front of me as / write.
l hate TO come in between the commercial man
ana the hotels in case of this kind especially
in order to monkey with relations that are al
ready strained; and yet, something ought to be
said al this time or We may easily foresee that
the overworked American pie will at length be
compelled, by reason of brain fag. TO abandon
the proud position which 1t now holds relative to
our interstate commerce.
/ know that commercial men are prone to ask
too much of the hotels at times, and thus they
infiame the proprietors. l have known of many
such instances in which the tourist was clearly
in the wrong; but the outrages were always per-
petrated by travelling men whose early lives had
been passed IN obscurity.
People say that travelling men are too forward
and too bold. and ought to do little more of
the blush-unseen business, but / found when
was on the road that had to be bold. especially
at the hotels, for the clerks were bold, the por-
tiers were bold and the dining room girls were
also in several instances extremely If | did
not demand the bridal chamber generally got
tea chest No. GO. with no knob the door. and
when would punch the button on the denunc-
ator it would fall off with low tremulous sound
and roll under the bed.
Gentlemen, in conclusion. hardly know what
| to say, unless it be to add that the tendency of
| the age seems to be toward the GENERALIZATION Of
pie. This is bound to make the thin man thin
ner and the fat man fatter. From statistics
now in my hands, I have ascertained that we
have enough pie in America. if properly dis
tributed, to give to each adult, exclusive of In
dians not taxed, one-eighth of a fuilero pie
| and still leave onesiXteenth of pie for each
| child of school age.
Gentlemen, this letter is already too long
can add nothing more unless it be yours truly.

Weasel Bill' was convinced that Sullivan was
on to him, and Loomis shot over the fence like
the tail end of q cyclone. One lariat was still

cowboys chased the buffalo for five minutes be.

getting himself tangled around the post OF the
shed. He was pulling down the She'd when the
skinned hands that held the rope let him plunge
free of the post Sullivan was blind with mad
ness. and dashed around the northwest tree. In
an instant the cowboys ran the ropes into the
hands of the crowd Of men at the bars and the
plrnging bnil was tied fast, while the owd
shected itself hoarse. The cowboys had just
left the yard and were preparing to lash two
horses together to take Sullivan to the train

free himself
With wild plunge his forefeet caught the
rope and Sullivan dropped on his left shoulder

boys, jumped into the buffalo yard. The moose
around the neck was loose. but Sullivan was
gasping his last breath. There was intense ex-
citement, and the men began to blow into the
nostrils of the fallen champion. It was of no

With nosetip swollen and red,
A delegate sat in his easy chair,
Eating the laborer's bread!
''Strike-strike-strike

And still, with his staggering insolent afr

Till the roof is torn from your head!''
It is Oh! to have king,
And dwell away over the sea,
Where knights and bosses still unknown
If this is liberty!

Nor murmur against their Decree
For none must work where they say mol"
